That's my silhouette in the opening credits. I was 9 years old. The studio hired extras as "stunt runners" so the lead actors wouldn't hurt themselves during the running. I stood in for Ike Eisenman, who played Tony, but they couldn't find a girl who had hair that bounced like Kim Richards' did, so she had to do it. It was a dream come true for 9-year-old me to spend a day running with Kim Richards.
I'd say you've done a good job.
That is freaking amazing! You were in the best opening credits ever created! Were you credited for the role?
Are you saying the silhouette of Tony was you?
@@harrystoller4147 Yes, that's me! My 15 minutes of fame!
@@p.terodactyl6848 No, I wasn't credited, but I just submitted the info to IMDB in the hopes that they will add the credit!
Surprisingly, this never scared me as a kid, I thought it was freaking AWESOME. Couldn't get over how cool the theme sounded, still can't to this day!
I remember trying to sing it to myself after I'd seen it, while I was reading the novel. I only saw it in first run, so the novel was the next best thing to seeing it again.
Sheesh, this opening still gives me chills at age 27
I agree, these are perhaps the scariest opening credits ever put on film. I don't know which is scarier, the silhouetted kids or the ghostly dogs chasing them.
I believe the sequel RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN had a similar opening.
Instead of a blue and black silhouetted Tony and Tia, we instead see a zooming UFO in the same manner in both ghostly blue and deep black, leaving the credits in it's wake Am I right?
I'm older than you by 20 years and it still gives ME chills! The opening is WAY to frightening to kids under 10 years old.
I was about 8 when I first saw Escape To Witch Mountain and that was about 29 years ago. It gave me the chills then and gives me goosebumps still to this day! Not once did it scare me, yet it enthralled me to watch every telekinetic movie ever made! Sweet!
The opening credits are darkest part of the movie. The rest is lighthearted fluff IMO and the last 20 minutes are slapstick comedy with the inverted 'copter and how the two men flying it just walk away after it crahes.
Aristotle Bolt "They're not the one's flying upside down.WE ARE"
Spins all the way back down to Earth.
Aristotle Bolt "I'm all right,where are the Children".
Cue one of the greatest scenes of all time.
As a child this scene was quite empowering.It's a shame that the movie industry don't make great films like this nowadays.
I remember when I first saw this movie. It was our movie day in daycare, and I had to leave early because my parents finished work sooner than the rest. I had to see how it ended, so I begged my mom for it. When I got it, I watched it so many times I wore out the tape!
AnimaMandala tape?
Sis u are old
omg i watched this movie at daycare too
This theme makes me think of a coat rack attacking a police officer. lol
Makes me think of flying puppets and RV's! lol
Makes me think of seeing this movie at the Drive in with my parents. My Dad is the only one left of the two and he is in a nursing home. We had a lot of good times and I am thankful to God for my parents. They loved me well when I was a kid.
Makes me want to grab my harmonica and play along!
It is such a weird movie LOL!
This opening terrified me as a kid seeing it now at 21 is like being a kid again spooky 😧 still love it!
This was the first film I ever went to see in the cinema. My wonderful Mum took me to see it.
Them feels that takes you straight back.This is nostalgia.Oh such bliss.
This is one of the Greatest movies ever made and I'd rather watch this version every day than that shitty 2009 Dwayne Johnson movie remake.
I agree. When I was little, I rented the 2009 DVD from the library and after I watched the previews on Disney’s fast play (I was 4 and I couldn’t control anything because I was chill all of the time 😂😂😂)
And right when the movie started with Dwayne Johnson talking in the car I immediately ejected the disc. Idk why 😂😂😂😂 4 year old me was smart and confusing at the same time 😂😂😂😂
I didn’t watch this version until 2nd grade but let me tell you, this brought more magic to me than the remake 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This was the first movie I ever saw! I finally read the book a few years ago and loved it
If this doesn't scare a small child , NOTHING will! The movie itself isn't scary. It's a cross between action adventure and slapstick comedy. The inverted(upside Down) helicopter near the end of the film is hysterical
It kinda makes me misty eyed seeing this because it reminds me of my childhood watching these Disney movies in the theater. My mom would drop me off in the afternoon and I would watch these movies over and over again. Another good one was "Island at the top of the world" which had the famous asian actor Mako in it. They were so magical, I always wished I could have been Tony. But that is a kid talking. And yes, I remember 1975 like it was yesterday. Ahh memories!
I'm really quite stunned that this, as far as I know, is not available for sale as a soundtrack. Actually I probably rate this music above John Williams' E.T. - which is saying something since I think of that man as a symphonic God. Disney get your act together and release the full soundtrack for sale, I'd buy it and I know a lot of people who would.
+FX Lord Good news for you ! The album exists from Intrada's Label. I've recently bought it, it's a very good soundtrack.
+COSMORICO Holy shit man, that is so cool thank you. I don't think they ship to the UK but Amazon has it over here so I'll get it from there. A bit more expensive but this will be so worth it.
SWEET! Just ordered. Thank you for the tip.
Does the album include any of the little "flashback" tunes that played when Tia was remembering? I loved those little tunes so much as a kid, I'd love to hear them again! :)
@@soundtracksearch It includes literally every cue from the film right down to the Buena Vista fanfare.
im surprised this sounds so creepy, especially since the book was made to be creepy.
Fun Fact: The Animated Dogs In The Opening Was The Hunter's Dogs In Bambi.
That music score sounds like the one "The Fox and the Hound" in the beginning where Tod's mother was running away from a hunter and his dog.
Best opening for a movie ever !! ( thinking as a 10 yr.old in '76 )
This version does sound better, thank you. I'd love to hear this score performed live by a symphony.
I like is how the opening make's feel like a Horror movie, For some strange reason?
Quite possibly Johnny Mandel's score CD will be announced tomorrow from Intrada Records
I haven't heard the music or seen the movie in ages.
Damn it's cool
It would be great news ! I keep an eye on Intrada's products.
Loco por la música
Shit scared me as a kid , 24 now n the shit still scares me
Amazing job!!
Damn, that's a bad ass tune !!
Disney should release George Bruns work. His opening theme for "The Strongest Man In The World" is great too.
If you are talking about the 1975' movie with Kurt Russel, I believe that Robert F. Brunner composed the score. And you're right, the music deserves a cd album.
Thanks for correcting me! Brunner indeed.
+COSMORICO....... thanks for uploading this movie but where is part 2, 3,4,5 & so on?
great!

Escape to Witch Mountain
This or at least a variation of this song was also used as the theme from The Fox And the Hound
🦇Tribute Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud,😱
This would’ve been a good theme for Space Mountain. This movie was to under appreciated by Disney.
full movie give pls
This sounds kinda better than Intrada's CD.. I guess they couldn't remaster much of them
Some of the best opening credits ever! It gives off a ton of Something Wicked This Way Comes vibes. This in my opinion is the only actually creepy scene in the movie. The rest of it is just weird and hilariously corny (and Return from Witch Mountain is even worse).
🦇Mr. Moundshroud,☠
Cool movie but I was trying to get theme song music, sound track
